The first journal was a scientific publication. In the second half of the 17th century, science was gaining more and more popularity, therefore, the topics of the first journals were appropriate.
The first authors of the journals were writers who published their reviews of the works that appeared. Over time, these reviews turned into articles where the authors began to write about their views on the world, their political, philosophical, moral preferences and ideas, among other things.
Everything changed in the 1830s, when publishers began to take advantage of the general reduction in the cost of printing and mailing publications and began to produce less expensive magazines aimed at a wider audience. The style of the magazine has also changed. The magazines were no longer aimed at the elite class. Publishers have taken advantage of the recently expanded audience and have begun offering family, children's and women's magazines.
Mobility — the newspaper can be read both at home and anywhere else; Accessibility — the newspaper is intended for an indefinite circle of people, anyone can become a reader of it; Periodicity — a newspaper refers to periodicals published according to a schedule set by the publisher. Formality — many decisions of authorities at all levels come into force only after their official publication in a newspaper or other printed body
There are several types of newspapers
The British tabloid, published from 1843 to 2011, was published weekly on Saturdays. It is positioned as a sister publication of The Sun newspaper.
The News of the World focused in particular on celebrity reports, gossip and populist news. Its somewhat lascivious focus on sex scandals earned him the nickname "Screw News." In the last decade, it has had a reputation for exposing celebrity drug use, sexual misconduct, or criminal activities using hidden persons and journalists to provide video or photographic evidence and covert phone hacking in an ongoing police investigation. In October 2010, the average sales volume was 2,812,005 copies per week.
Since 2006, allegations of phone hacking began to cover the newspaper. Their culmination was the discovery on July 4, 2011, that almost a decade earlier, a private investigator hired by the newspaper intercepted the voicemail of missing British teenager Millie Dowler, who was later found murdered. Amid a negative public reaction and the cessation of advertising, News International announced the closure of the newspaper on July 7, 2011.
During a visit to London on February 17, 2012, Murdoch (the owner of the newspaper) announced that he would soon launch a Sunday edition of The Sun, which would replace the News of the World. On February 19, 2012, it was announced that the first issue of the Sunday edition of The Sun on the Sun would be released on February 26, 2012. Some former News of the World journalists will work there.
